The Orangemen are preparing for an invasion of the country in which the Land League has been at work, for the purpose of reaping the crops of a tenant farmer named Bycootc, a victim of the League. At Ballinrobe, County Mayo, a disturbance being apprehended, a strong military force has been despatched to the spot. A stormy scene has occurred in the French Senate, owing to the intense feeling displayed by the members on theßight on the subject of the decrees for the expulsion of .Jesuits from France, Nov. 11.

A special delivered bj T Gladstone at the Lord Mayor’s banquet on Nov. 9th, has tended to lessen the distrust on the Continent with reference to the foreign policy of Great Britain. The foreign press interprets the Premier’s utterance to mean that England is abandoning her isolated action with regard to Greece. There is some friction in the Cabinet over the measures proposed to maintain the law in Ireland. A relief party of Orangemen, about fifty in number from Monaghan, arrived at Bycoote’s farm house to-da}'. They reached Ballinrobe unmolested.
